What will I learn?

Fanshawe's Mechanical Engineering Technician program is a one-year Ontario College Diploma offered at the campus in St. Thomas that provides practical, hands-on experience to educate you on highly specialized machines.

Your Learning Experience: Today’s machines are highly specialized and technologically advanced. They require specialized and dynamic technicians to make sure they run properly and to ensure the job gets done. If you’re interested in working with your hands and appreciate the pride that comes after a hard day’s work, the Mechanical Engineering Technician – Industrial Maintenance program will give you the technical prowess needed to meet the always evolving industrial world. Upon successful completion of your mechanical engineering technician diploma, you'll graduate with career options far beyond the shop. Work in sales, or as part of a technical team. Whatever your goal, begin engineering your future today; Throughout the pursuit of your mechanical engineering technician diploma, you'll have access to practical, hands-on experience in hydraulics, pneumatics, welding, machining, machine repair, and electronics. Because today's industrial machines are built with a high degree of sophistication, you’ll learn the mechanical and electrical knowledge to understand them, inside and out. You’ll also study computer aided design, welding and mechanics theory. Plus, the program mirrors the apprenticeship training program for Industrial Millwrights - so when you graduate with your mechanical engineering technician diploma, you'll be prepared to write the exemption tests for the Industrial Millwright trade (as required by the Apprenticeship Client Services of the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, Workplace Training Branch); This program is also offered evenings in Tiverton.

Diploma to Degree: Fanshawe's Honours Bachelor Degrees have pathways from related diplomas or advanced diplomas, allowing you to graduate with a degree sooner. We have also developed pathways from our Bachelor's degrees to related graduate programs.
